High-Quality Implementation of the Popular Card Game Durak (Fool)

The card game "Durak" (also known as "Fool" or "Dumb") is one of the most popular and widely played card games in the former Soviet Union. This high-quality implementation allows you to enjoy "Durak" offline, without an internet connection, using a deck of 24, 36, or 52 cards.

"Durak" comes in two primary variants: "Flip Fool" (Durak podkidnoy) and "Transferable Fool" (Durak perevodnoy). While both share some similarities, each has its own unique rules and nuances.

The ultimate goal of the game is to get rid of all your cards as quickly as possible. The first player to do so emerges as the winner, while the last player standing is dubbed the "fool" (durak).

Flip Fool (Durak podkidnoy)

The classic version of the game is known as "Flip Fool." In this mode, if the attacker has no cards to play against the defending player, the next player to the defender's left takes over. They can only throw one card initially. Once it's beaten, the right to throw reverts to the original attacker. If the player to the left of the defender has no suitable cards, the opportunity moves clockwise to the next player. Thus, all players can participate in throwing cards, but in sequence, earning it the name "Flip Fool" or "Classic Durak."

Transferable Fool (Durak perevodnoy)

"Transferable Fool" adds an exciting twist to the game, making it more dynamic. From the second move onwards, the defending player can "transfer" a card played against them by placing a card of the same rank but different suit on the table. This shifts the defending role to the next player in a clockwise direction, who can also choose to transfer the card to the next player, and so on. Hence, this variant is called "Transferable Fool."
